Dayra

Unknown · Young · 3 years

A small female dog fantastic with a strong desire for a home! Dayra, a medium-large mixed breed, 56 cm at the withers, born in January 2023, very sociable, gentle and confident. Gets along with male dogs, not tested with other females. She was abandoned in September 2024 and has been spending her days in a crate seeking comfort and affection from those who enter, hoping someone will take her away as soon as possible. She is located in a private accredited dog shelter in the province of Rome but we also place her in the north, after the necessary pre-adoption home checks, vaccinated, spayed, tested for leishmaniasis and obviously with a microchip.

Una cagnolina fantastica che ha tanto desiderio di una casa! Dayra, meticcetta di taglia medio grande, cm 56 al garrese, nata gennaio 2023, molto socievole, docile e confidente. Va d’accordo con cani maschi, non testata con altre femmine. È stata abbandonata nel settembre 2024 e da allora trascorre le sue giornate in un box cercando conforto ed affetto da chi entra e sperando che qualcuno la porti via da lì al più presto. Si trova in un canile privato convenzionato in provincia di Roma ma la affidiamo anche al nord, dopo le dovute verifiche preaffido, vaccinata, sterilizzata, testata leishmania e ovviamente con microchip.

About Dayra

What life with Dayra looks like

Dayra is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Associazione ALFA in Roma.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dayra, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dayra?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Associazione ALFA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dayra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dayra if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Associazione ALFA will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Dayra already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Dayra isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Associazione ALFA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dayra and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (IT). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
